Lansdowne Vineyard Chardonnay 2022

Winemaker notes:
This is the first release of our new Chardonnay from the organically farmed Lansdowne Vineyard in Forreston.

The nose has summer fruits of yellow nectarine, apricot and fresh white pear with orange blossom, nutmeg and cashews. The palate is zingy with shortbread biscuits, butterscotch and soft powdery tannins.

Hand-made at CRFT certified organic winery in Carey Gully. Hand-picked on 19th March then whole-bunch pressed to tank. Wild fermented in tank for a few days then transferred to oak for full solids, wild barrel ferment. 100% French oak, 20% new. Partial wild MLF with regular lees stirring. 6 months in oak.

100% natural acidity. Unfined and lightly filtered. Organically grown and made (uncertified). Bottled October 2022. Vegan friendly.
